Confidentiality & privacy are common threads in all that we do. These principles are at the core of our therapeutic & trusting relationships with those in our care. We strive to be a quiet service that does not bring undue attention to those who walk through our doors. Community members and the people that we serve govern us. We are partners with the State of Vermont in meeting legislative mandates to provide care.
